clowe18 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 so i was looking at my tank at night and saw my lps corals with their feeding tenticles out.. and got an idea. why not keep brine shrimp in the DT as an extra sourse of nutrition, like pods. ive googled it and didnt find much. i know people keep them in there refugiums.. my main question is would it be good to keep them in my DT as an extra food souce for my fish and corals? or keep them in my fuge, or not at all.. thanks guys!

psidriven Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 you can try this. don't think brine shrimp will breed in reef tanks. they live in salt lakes and not in the ocean for some reason. http://www.tomaquarium.com/prod_details.php?cat=32&p=82 Link to comment

I will be following closely to see how it goes. Link to comment
clowe18 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 yeah thats a nice hatchery but im kinda broke because i spend all my money on corals... i was thinking of just throwing adult brines in my tank and hope they reproduce in my tank Link to comment
nickjqz Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 You would have to check to make sure that the salinity is the same and I wouldn't think that there would be any problems.

clowe18 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Oh really? Why's that? Link to comment
Lorenz725 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I get live ones sometimes for my fish and put them in my tank it does not take long before all are eaten. Link to comment
clowe18 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 True. The plan is to let them survive in my tank like how pods do. So it acts as an extra food sorce. I'll put them in my hob filter fuge mod and throw them in my DT and hope for the best. I only have a clarkii clown algae blenny and 2 skunk cleaner shrimps. So I think they'll Be fine Link to comment
